Scraps with and without tiny hand stitching, waiti Scraps with and without tiny hand stitching, waiting to become something else/new/other. What, I do not know (yet). But I like the process.

I really like the process of everything (except waking up). 

How about you?

This will be my message to myself this upcoming we This will be my message to myself this upcoming week. Make your dream come true, give it a try. Don't be scared. Live a little. Be bold if you can, and if not, at least show up and do your best. Go go go girl!

In my art journal. I'm not going to the moon, but OMG, doesn't it feel like it?

Hope you're tackling your challenges, big and small, with a daring mindset too. xo

I was just in February, making little hearts all o I was just in February, making little hearts all over the place but didn't take the time to photograph them before it all ended, and oh, wow, now it's March already? I should get back to sharing more of the lovely images I have on my phone, shouldn't I? 

Hope you're doing well and staying creative and safe. xo

Anyway, this is the same: It  is a heart in a textile book that I'm working on right now. Hearts is not the theme, but they kind of just keep showing up, as always.

It's not even finished yet! I've been playing in It's not even finished yet!

I've been playing in this composition notebook all month, trying a few new tricks and finding inspiration from the online class The Leftovers Journal. 

Some pages I love, others not as much, but I thoroughly enjoyed the process of just playing with paint, scraps, envelopes and paint pens in an experimental way like this! 

Thanks to @alisakburke for all the inspiration & ideas in just one cheapo class! I'd totally recommend it if you want some inspiration or are new to art journaling,  it was fun! 🌈

"It's so strange when you're down and lying on the "It's so strange when you're down and lying on the floor
How you rise, shake your head, get up and ask for more
Clear-headed and open-eyed
With nothing left untried
Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run
There's no hurry any more when all is said and done"

New year, new week - same me, same old art journal New year, new week - same me, same old art journal (Book of paint) that I keep going back to. 

Old is comfortable and cozy, new is scary and... exciting? Is there a middle ground between staying still and moving forward?

My most liked instagram posts of 2022 in a 9 patch My most liked instagram posts of 2022 in a 9 patch grid. 

Grid is featuring my collage work, DIY Postcards for the swap I host, the Rainbow Gluebook project that I created free labels for and shared over on YT, and my pimped diary that became several reels. And in the middle one of many cloth hearts that I made in the beginning of the year. Click on over to my reels tab in my bio if you want to see moving pictures, if not that's okay too.

Thank you for following me and liking what I have created and shared during the year! 

If you have hearted ANY of my images, left me a comment or shared my projects with a friend - know that this means A LOT to me as an artist and fellow human being that often feels lonely and sad over here, trying to brighten my own life with creativity and colors just as much as yours. 

Cheers and again, happy new creative year friends!

Yes, here's a new blog post for you - link in bio Yes, here's a new blog post for you - link in bio as always. It's about jumping into a new journal, pimping the cover and then starting to paint and decorate the first couple of pages.

Who else loves that process, the fresh start, the idea of the blank page of a new journal? It can't just be me, right? :-)

Yummy! Looking at this makes me want to go cut and Yummy! Looking at this makes me want to go cut and paste all year next year, so I thought I'd share it with you guys... Maybe you'll find it inspiring too?

Who has creative plans for next year already?
